Some of you have probably seen some bits of information on the web over the last day about Microsoft canceling the Bill Gates/ Jerry Seinfeld ad campaign to focus on a "new" campaign.

If someone were to ask me who I'd rather meet in person if given the choice between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, I'd pick Bill Gates. He's an excellent public speaker, and he always seems to be a humble, gracious man. Steve Jobs on the other hand, it's not that I don't like him, it's just that there's an arrogance to him that can get on my nerves.

Back in the beginning of June we told you about how Microsoft is serious about improving their brand by hiring a big name in the advertising market to put together a campaign for them.

Today is the day that Bill Gates walks away from his roll at Microsoft to move on to his philanthropic work. After 30 years, his final day at the company he founded is here. Microsoft has been planning his departure for the last two years and have done various things to celebrate Gates' time with the company.

We're playing a little game here. Who said Microsoft's usability stinks? Read the quotes below and give us your best guess...

Ever since he was 17, Bill Gates has known only one thing -- Microsoft. That's where he's worked his entire life and in just three days, he will walk away from the company he founded and take more of a backseat role (as Chairman) while he works full-time at the foundation he co-founded. We've known this was coming for two years, but now that it's here, it's hard to believe.

Last night at the D6 conference both Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer sat down together for an interview. We've got two highlight videos from the conference below, and there were actually some interesting things brought up. What's even more surprising is that there were some jokes being thrown around.

Can you imagine having 20 billion dollars plus in cash, just lying around? Microsoft for many years has been one company in the tech industry that always had at least that on hand. In fact, four years ago they had a whopping $64 billion dollars sitting around.

A couple of weeks ago I got an email forwarded to me and it was a list of rules that Bill Gates gave in a speech at a High School.

When Steve Ballmer walked away from the table on Saturday and withdrew Microsoft's bid to acquire Yahoo, was this all part of his tactic to ensure that he ends up with Yahoo in the end? Without knowing who said what, this whole situation has turned into a silly game of "well Ballmer said this," and "well Yang said that." Ballmer said Yang was the one that wasn't willing to negotiate while Yang says he was in fact willing to negotiate and $37 per share wasn't the lowest he'd go.
